Termites nest underground in every state with the exception of Alaska. It is the Subterranean termites which cause the most destruction, as they tunnel through wooden structures (such as your home), where they burrow and find their food source. The most common characteristic of a termite is their unquenchable appetite for wood. Left untreated, termites will feed on the wood until a mere shell remains.

As per other colony insects, termites are highly social insects and they each perform a different function in community life. Their colonies could easily reach populations of more than one million. If that number is not overwhelming enough, the winged reproductives then leave the parental nest in swarms, in the spring and they in turn create their own colony. If you believe you have a termite problem in your home, there are various telltale signs to look for, these include piles of small, delicate wings shed by reproductives, small piles of sawdust, mud tubes built by termites for aboveground travel, damaged or hollow sounding wood, pinholes in drywall or wallpaper. If you discover any of these signs, there is a good probability that termites are making a meal of your home.

However, termites may also be less obvious and this could mean that hidden termite problem could exist in your home, and you may not have even noticed any of the termite-infestation signs.
